I do indeed still have it. It serves me very well on days when my hands need a break from playing long scale!

 

Still have the Jazz too, did I get that from you as well?

I believe you did indeed have my sunburst Fender 32" scale Jazz as well 🙂

I had a Squier 32" scale P bass, MIJ, absolutely fantastic bass.  Should never, ever, have sold it.  I wonder where it is now? 

 

Here alongside a 32" scale Aria Pro II CSB 'Black n Gold' in museum piece condition which I probably shouldn't have sold.  I bought another, sold that, too.

 

 

 

On the strength of the white one I imported a black 32" Squier P from Japan.  It was nice, but not as nice as the white one.

 

 

 

I did get a Fender one, too - a 32" scale Jazz Bass Special.  Again, imported it from Japan.  Don't recall why I sold this one.

 

I had that Precision for a while and I also regret selling it, I got it from the guy you sold it to, I have a Squier JV 32" Jazz and mistakenly decided to keep that instead. I sold the P to @therealting who I imagine still has it.

I saw them for the first time on Saturday in Crystal Palace Park, Glen on bass and Debbie not sounding too shabby on her ??th Birthday, I'm not a massive Blondie fan or anything but enjoyed the gig.

Generation Sex also played so there were three Sex Pistols on the same bill just not in the same band 🙃

Nice body, it will look stunning when finished 🙂

There are a lot of options so I'm finding it tricky to decide but on a Telecaster style guitar I'm in the process of putting together I'm going with Danish Oil wiped on which seems like it might be one of the simpler finishes to do and leaves a satin finish.

I’m a bit behind on the current Blockheads live situation…… I just watched some recent YouTube clips…..

 

Who’s the bloke singing? He looks like someones dad just jumped out of the audience to have a go? And why is Nathan King playing bass?

 

Apologies if this has already been covered 

Mike Bennet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Bennett_(writer)

Lee Thompson from Madness makes an appearance on vocals from time to time, he did two song the other night in London.

I'm guessing Nathan deps when Norman isn't available, unfortunately they don't say why he's not playing much these days.

No Norman at Friday's gig in London, I hope he was double booked rather than ill.

Hats off to Nathan King for continuing to play while the guitar tech changed a snapped string 🤯

Bassworlder here too!

 I joined Bassworld back in the day so I could message someone who had an EBS cab for sale that I was desperate for at the time, the cab is looooooong gone but I am still hanging about here all these years later 😃

When he starts playing that fast, walking groove is sublime. Nice to see him playing his Bass Collection signature Jazz too.

I believe it's all he uses live these days having sold the Fender Jazz it was modelled on.

It's this bloke, apparently.

 

Mark King's brother, from the Andertons video reviews, is playing bass (at least for this gig from a month ago).

 

 

Oh dear I hope it's not that guest singer! I've seen Nathan play guitar with Level 42, he's a bloody talented guy but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Norman.

I've seen them loads of times and I've got tickets to see them again in London next month, Derek is dead so I wonder who does vocal duties now?

Lovely and reasonably thin on the ground Fender Made In Mexico Vintage White Mustang P90 guitar, in excellent condition, one tiny ding on the headstock and a little split in the finish near the neck plate (see pics) all original, nice dark Rosewood fingerboard, Could do with re-stinging.

The P90 give a nice tone and a unique look, I find the slightly shorter scale and small body size makes it a breeze to play, I'd love to keep it but I'm sticking to my 'one in, one out' rule and I've just bought a PRS SE Starla which is a totally different beast but suits me better.

FINAL PRICE DROP £350.00 collected from Sydenham in SE London, unfortunately I don't have a gig bag for it but I could use a bass one if someone wanted to meet up at a London mainline station, Croydon, Bromley and Clapham Junction are also an option, I really prefer not to use couriers with instruments but I do have a suitable box and some packing material if you wanted to take the risk and book your own.

PICS HERE

I'd prefer a straight sale really but I might trade against a Mustang Bass.

I bought this keyboard new a few years ago with the view to learning some piano and also for integration with a DAW, none of which really happened it's hardly been used since getting it and has sat in a case in a cupboard, it still has the protective film on the display.

I don't have the space for it really and always use a mini keyboard these days.

Full spec can be found online but as you can see it has faders, control knobs, drum pads, arpeggiator, 5 pin and USB MIDI so is very flexible.

I can't find a manual or any CD's so assume it comes as is, just the keyboard now else, it's can be bus powered and I tested it connected to a Mac running Garageband.

PICS HERE

£160.00 collected from Sydenham in SE London, it's heavy and I have no shipping box, I do however have a Tiger generic soft case I could use to transport it in if meeting up at a southerly London mainline station works better, Clapham Junction, Bromley South, East Croydon, London Bridge, Charring Cross, Whitechapel, Liverpool St, Victoria. The case is in great conditional though it is a bit bigger than the Novation but it's yours for an additional £15.00 if required or I can take it home again.

SOLD on eBay.

Sorry for the repeated posts my browser had a funny five minutes 🙃

You can add Fender MIJ JB62M to the 'no longer in production' list. A perfectly scaled down Jazz with all the correct body and neck proportions. Much like the MIJ P (model PB331 btw). Great basses, I have one of each.

I once had a Fender MIJ JB62M it looked great because as you say everything is scaled down, I think @therealting had it after me. I also previously owned a rather nice Squier Japan 32" scale P, I do still have a JV Squier medium scale Jazz.

Great MIDI keyboard with full sized keys and lots of knobs, buttons and pads, it's hardly been used and still has the protective film over the display, ideal addition to any studio 😊

£30.00 without the case collected from Sydenham in SE London, postage would probably be about a fiver, it's surprisingly heavy at nearly 3kg.

Semi hard case (see pics) in as new condition that I'm happy to include for another £15.00.

Generic tort plate with Vanson 57 or 59 Humbuckers, sorry I can't remember what model, Kiogon solderless loom, VTT pots with a 3 way switch.

Great condition, I put this together for a very short live bitsa, the wiring will need checking as I seem to remember the volume control only turned to sound down a bit and didn't go completely off, school boy error no doubt but I broke the guitar up before ever getting around to investigating why this was happening, it's easy to mess about with the wiring due to the solder free design 🙂

£45 delivered, a bit less if you want to collect it from me in Sydenham SE London or possibly meet up in central London.

I currently have 3 Ibanez Mezzo's, greedy I know but I'm  upgrading the preamps because as people say they are sh..useless.

One is orange one metallic red and one is flat black. The orange now sports EMG P/J set with the included pre' and the sound is immense to me, so much better.

So easy to play if you have rheumatoid arthritis like me, it just about plays itself, so for about £420 including the bass I have an amazing setup.

Not decided what to do with the other 2 yet.

I can't see the pictures 😉

Acoustic and screening of his film. I'm waiting until he comes with full band.

Worth holding out for 👍

My first suggestion, Fantastic Negrito. Heard on Later, and Craig Charles, 6Music.

 

He's playing in London on the 8th Feb

Reasonably priced.

Epiphone to revive the 30.5 inch scale Newport bass.

Kinda like it except the body looks upside down 😕
